PRINTING-TELEGRAPH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,491, dated October 20, 1885. Application filed May 15, 1895. Serial No. 165,603. (No model.)

To aZZ whmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES N. J UnsoN, a citizen of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, and a resident of said Brooklyn, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Printing- Telegraphs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is especially applicable to that class of printing-telegraph instruments in which one type-wheel is used to print the desired matter on the tape or fillet of paper. I11 the ordinary use of two-wheel printingtelegraph instruments in telegraphing quotations or prices of stocks, produce, and the like, the printed matter appears upon the pa per in two parallel lines. One wheel, carrying the letter-types, is employed to print the name or symbol of the stock, &c., in one line, while the other wheel, carrying the figuretypes, is used to print the price and amount of the quoted article in another line, so that by the progression of the papera blank space appears on the letter-line on the paper between eachsymbol, the corresponding portion of paper in the other line being occupied by figures indicating the price and amount of the stock sold, so that the full quotation appears in the two lines by alternate spaces and printed matter. By this system persons consulting the tape upon which appears the symbol and quotation for a large number of stocks can easily run the eye over the letter-line on the tape and pick out the desired symbol of the stock, and find adjacent to it on the figure-line the desired quotation of amount and price. The separation of the symbols of the different stock by the blank spaces in one line, while relative spaces in the line below are occupied by the figures of the quotation, and vice versa, the separation of the figures of the quotations by blank spaces while relative spaces in the other line are occupied by the symbols, gives great facility for consultation.

In single-wheel printing-telegraph instruments in common use all the types, both letters and figures, are upon the periphery of one type-wheel, and the printing obtained from it appears upon the paper in one line, the symbol of the stock, 850., alternating with the price and the amount of the quotation.

This has a tendency to render the different names and prices confused and not readily consulted. The object of my present invention is to obviate this difficulty, and to make the printing from single-wheel telegraph-machines as easily consulted and read as that from the two-wheel instruments.

It is well known that the eye is much more quickly attracted by certain colors than by others, and by the contrast of different colors than when colors are uniform. I have taken advantage of this fact by means of my invention to make the printed matter from a singlewheel printing-telegraph instrument more nearly like that of the two-wheel instrument by causing the symbol of the stock, produce, or the like, to be printed in one color while the price and amount is printed in another color, so that in consulting the printed matter upon the tape all the symbols of the stock will appear in one color, while allthe figures indicating prices and amounts will appear in another color, and thus the eye will readily be able to pick out the requiredsymbol and its adjacent price. This I accomplish by my invention by means of two inking-rollers having different-co1ored ink-e. g.,one having red ink, the other black inkso acted upon by cams that the 1etter-types on the type-wheel are inked only by one roller and the figure-types only by the other roller.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a single-wheel printingtelegraph instrument, showing the type'wheel with its accompanying parts, and also showing the two inkingrollers with cams acting upon them. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same type-wheel and cams and inking-rollers on an enlarged scale.

In Fig. 1, T is the frame of a printing-tele graph instrument. B and G are two inkingrollers mounted upon their respective arms, K and L. These arms are pivoted at the points M and N, and each roller is arranged to rest by its own weight upon the type-wheel and to supply ink to the types upon its periphery, except when lifted away from the wheel by means of the cams acting upon the pins which are upon the arms of the rollers. These cams D and E are permanently attached to the axle of the type-wheel and revolve with it. In the drawings, the cam D extends from the point 1to the point 2. The cam E extends from the point 3 to the point 4, the cam E being shown behind cam D in part. The pin I upon the arm L rests upon the cam E, and the pin J upon the arm K rests upon the cam D, In this case the type-wheel is supposed to revolve in the direction from 9 toward 1. When in its revolution the cam D at the point 1 comes in contact with the pin J, and simultaneously with the arrival of the figure-types under the roller 0, it raises the roller 0 away fromthe types and holds it away until in its revolution the cam D at the point 2 comes beneath the pin J, when this pin and the arm K drop and allow the roller 0 to rest upon and apply ink to the letter-type. So, also, when in its revolution the cam E at its point 3 comes in contact with the pin I, and simultaneously with the arrival of the letter-type G under the roller B, it lifts the arm L and the roller B away from the letter-types, and holds it away therefrom until in its revolution the cam E at the point 4 comes beneath the pin I, when the pin and arm L drop and permit the roller B to rest upon and apply ink to the figure-types. By this arrangement the letter-types on the type-wheel are always inked by the roller 0, carrying inkof one color, and the figure-types by the rollers B,

carrying ink of another color, and thus the impression upon the paper by the letter-types is always of one color, while that of the figure-types is always of another color.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a printing-telegraph instrument, the combination, with one type-wheel, of two inking-rollers having different-colored inks and means for applying said rollers, respectively, to designated characters upon said wheel,substantially as set forth.

2. In a printing-telegraph instrument, the combination, with one type-wheel and an impression-pad, of two inking-rollers having different-colored inks and means for applying said inks to designated characters upon said wheel, so that the impression from such characters shall appear in different colors, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two witnesses this 14th day of May, 1885.
